1080 price drop expected when 1080ti comes out?

[SSL72]

Now that the 1080ti has been announced to launch in early March, should I wait for the 1080ti to come out to buy a 1080. Not sure if prices will really go down? Thinking i'd get a EVGA 1080 SC or FTW. Would love your thoughts before I do it. Note that the EVGA 1080 SC is $599 on sale right now.

there is no official announcement. only rumored. it is possible for 1080 to drop in price if 1080ti launch but it will not a big drop. maybe off $50 from official MSRP. at least that's how it goes when nvidia launch 980ti in the past.

I still think the 1080Ti won't get announced until late Q2 if Nvidia follow the timing of the last 2 generations of x80Ti's
